Hello CWT
Been awhile since the last time I poked my nose in. Probably since my Spain/Russia trip last November.
Well, didnt draw anything anywhere... again. But I DID finally return to Africa after a long 8 year hiatus from the dark continent. Ive been mountain hunting as hard as my finances would allow the last 8 years and Africa just took a back seat.
I made Namibia the priority this trip as I have never been there before, and because it is the safest country in Africa, I decided to take my 10 year old daughter, my wife and my mother on this trip.
Ill spare the written details other than to say it was a fantastic trip. 10 days of hunting with some incredible trophies taken.. a few for me I had been waiting to hunt for many years. We hunted north central Namibia not too far from Etosha Nat Park. I was fortunate enough to have taken a monster sable bull and Roan bull as well as Hartmanns mountain zebra, Damara dikdik, steenbok, and 2 gemsbok oryx bulls.
My daughter was Annie Oakley this trip. 6 kills with 6 shots from her 243. Im pretty sure she has the bug as badly as her old man now! She took 4 springbok, an impala, and a blue wildebeest.
After the hunt, we spent an incredible week in Swakopmund on the coast as well as a few days in Soussusvlei and Deadvlei in the Namib Desert. National Geographic stuff 💯!! Beautiful place!
So here are a handful of pics to enjoy. It was great being back in Africa but now the mountains call again and Oct cant come quickly enough!
Good hunting to you all and congratulations to those with a sheep tag in your pocket!
